Abstract: Rotary rock bit comprising a tool body having an axial core (1) and radial blades (2) made of steel, grooves (6) hollowed out in the edge (5) of the blades, transversely thereto, and cylindrical abrasive elements (8) comprising impregnated diamonds, which are disposed in the grooves, transversely to the blades.

Abstract: A bit for drilling wells has a front face with radial blades having cutting elements distributed around the front face. A space for forming a core is situated at the center of the front face. A cavity is provided for evacuating the core towards a periphery of the bit. At least a portion of the cavity is situated between adjacent blades. The cavity is delimited by two lateral surfaces and a clearance surface set back with respect to the front face, and the cavity is open in a direction opposite the clearance surface. The bit may be used in methods for drilling wells and makes it possible to rapidly drill wells of great depth in all types of rock without the risk of clogging.

Abstract: Two-centre rotary boring bit for boring wells, comprising, on the one hand, a pilot tool (1) comprising a body of revolution with an axial core (3) and radial blades (4) bearing cutting elements (5) and, on the other hand, an enlarging tool (2) fitted behind the pilot tool and laterally offset therefrom, the pilot tool having, on its front face, a central region (11) that has no cutting elements in order to allow the creation of a core sample (12), said central region being in communication with a cavity (13) situated between two blades (4) of the pilot tool (1) and serving to remove the core sample toward the periphery of the boring bit.

Abstract: Device comprising equipment for measuring parameters of a drilling or coring operation by means of a drillbit fixed to the end of a drill string, measurement equipment (7) being housed in a chamber (5) made in a coupling (1, 18) that is designed to be interposed between two drill string pipes or between the drillbit and a drill string pipe, or to constitute an adapter (18) for a cutting head (15) of the drillbit of a drill string.
